You helped at first gave me the lot
A spade to bury you know what
Adding a little numbness to my pain
Which drink will you pour me today
What drug takes me further away
From horrors ripping lumps out of my brain
I'm sorry are you losing track
My moods swing to the moon and back
Crash landing on the closest loved ones head
I do talk when I isolate
There's no one coming it's too late
I'll play some death by duvet in my bed
Come out now coward let's all see
What takes complete control of me
Destroying hope whilst pissing my dreams
Emotions shielded by your code
Brought on my latest episode
The one where nothing's ever as it seems
A fukin giant I should have known
I'd no idea how big you'd grown
You hold the ace with every other card
You're out now though and have been seen
My cut it shall be slowly clean
Until you catch me once again off guard

So I know you said you were writing from a prompt but this is really powerful stuff! I mean bits and pieces will be relatable to a lot of people. And why is there such a stigma around mental health?? Really, great job!!
Thanks Christina
No idea why the stigma
Think it's getting better
